Adobe Photoshop CS

Advanced Level 

Photoshop is so much more than an image-editor: its layers, channels, paths and adjustments, combined with actions and histories, make it a veritable power tool for all those dealing with photographic imagery. From enhancements to special effects, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Useful to you if:

you need to produce professional-standard enhanced retouching, repairs, or complex photographic effects.

 

Before the course, you should:

be using Photoshop regularly and confidently;

be using layers, paths and channels with ease;

be familiar with shortcuts, filters and the main palettes and menubar options.

 

At the end of the day’s course you will:

• have produced a complex layered file, special typographic effects, and a photo-montage with cloning;

• be armed with advanced tips on how to improve workflow;

• be confident using actions, masks, and adjustment layers;

• be aware of integration issues between this and other software;

• know some expert-user keyboard shortcuts.
